Still been jamming an insane amount of Spire.

But I likely will jump into Balatro next week.

I can't stop playing Tarkov these days - I tried it about a year ago and just couldn't deal with how complex and frustrating it was, but I tried it again a few weeks ago and I guess they must've done a lot of work on QoL and UI lately because it seems a lot more accessible now.

It's still brutally difficult and complex, but it in a more fun way. I have not enjoyed a game I'm really terrible at this much since Spelunky 2.

The "just one more raid..."-vibe is irresistible.

Balatro is a must-buy for anyone on this forum who likes roguelike games.

I know I’m late to the party, but Dave the Diver and Lacuna are both fantastic games.

I'm waiting on DTD to get on a good sale, but I'll definitely get it.

Still hooked on StS. But I need to get more into Balatro.

Initial impressions of Rebirth

It's HUGE! I think I spent close to 4 hours in Kalm alone just walking around and playing the card game. Combat is really fun as is just exploring the open world and collecting materials.

The one minor nitpick I have actually goes back to Remake and that's 95% of the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, but then in some places the textures look godawful and very flat.

I thought this would've been fixed on the PS5, but I guess not.

Been playing in switch and PC. Easily the most addictive gameplay for me since Slay the Spire demo. Never cared for the new chars in that.

Two gold stakes and all challenges done so far

Wow, a new much better implementation of Family sharing! Family members can now play different games from one account. (I hope I'm reading that right)

I'm sure the 1 year waiting period to move to a different family and max of 6 people was from developer pushback.

Hooked on Balatro after seeing you folk recommend it.

My only gripe is some of the boss mechanics - namely the one that debuffs all the cards you've played previously, and the one the deals your cards face down.

I know if you're smart you can probably spend a bit a bit of time and figure out how to beat them, but in a game like this I just prefer to play fast and loose!

The one I hate is the one that de-levels your hands.

Watch the tags at the bottom of the Antes when you get to a new blind, some of them let you reroll the boss. Also there is a voucher that lets you reroll the boss as well.

One trick for the face-down mechanic - the cards are still in the correct order, and when you sort by rank or suit they will sort correctly. So, you can make some reasonable inferences about what the face-down cards are, and sometimes you can straight upfigure out what the cards are.

The boss that only lets you play one hand is pretty brutal too. I think it's called The Needle.

In addition to the voucher that lets you reroll, there's one I got once that nullifies the boss requirement entirely. Might have been a card, can't remember.

To me these are the kind of things that make the game fun though as long as you don't take it too serious.

Another thing about the face down cards is if you have a tarot card that adds mult/bonus chips, makes a card glass, etc; if you use it on a face down card it will flip over to show you the change and then flip back.

How did I miss that Talo's Principle 2 was released towards the end of last year??? I see that it's on sale this weekend for $18!

I loved Talo's 1! Has anyone played 2?

One of my favourite games! I missed that 2 is out as well - I guess I have no choice but to buy it. Reviews are at 95%, which is awesome. Thanks Mark.

Fun fact, after certain point the mortality no longer increases with age - after 105 or so you simply have 50/50 chance to survive the next year and it stays like that.

I'm 4 hours in Talos Principle 2 and I absolutely love it. There's way more narrative but the puzzles are difficult and interesting right away. I'm taking my time. I think you can ignore some of the narrative and focus on puzzles if you like too.
